The California Railroad Commis- sioners have held friendly conferer- enee with the officials of the Southern Pacific railroad, at which reduction of the rates of fare,- proposed by Com missioner Abbott, was agreed upon and accepted by the representatives of the railaoad. The rate under the new schedule will be five cents mile in stead of six, four cents instead of five, and three cents instead of four. The reduction will apply to the Company's lines throughout California, in Ne
 vada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, and will go into effect September first.

THE OLIVE.

This tree of trees as some European writers term it, is growing in luxuri- ance in this city as also at Yuma, where the trees are laden with fruit. Like the citrus fruits it is free from the scale bug, that pest of California. Olives are the longest lived of any of the fruits grown by man and more profitable. It Is likewise the richest of food and furnishes an oil that has a market in every civilized community. The demand for the pickled fruit and the oil increases faster than the supply therefore, there is no immediate pros pect of falling of in prices. The tree, like the ass whose origin is in the same region as that of the olive, is capable of enduring more ill usage at the hands of man, whose beaefactor it is, than any known tree or plant.

From Yumato Phenix via the Gila Valley What is Bein gDone to Develop a Rich
 Country.

The following well-written article appeared in a recent issue of the Phe- nix Gazette:
 No more promising country exists on the Pacific coast than the great Gila valley which extends from the Colorado river at Yuma up to within a-few miles of Phoenix which is now attracting the attention of capitalists both west and east. At various times the Gazette has called attention to its merits, believing that its development will add materially to the prosperity of this city and the Territory at large
 THE CHA RIVER
 is the largest and most important stream in Arizona. Its head IS among the mountains and high table lands of New Mexico, where it is fed by copi- ous summer rains and winter snows. 1t bisects the Territory from east to west, leaving the larger part on the north. It has the San Francisco, San Pedro, Santa Cruz, Salt River, Agua Fria and Hassayampa and tributaries within Arizona, and numerous lesser streams in New Mexico. It will be seen by this that its water shed is ca pablo of keeping up an abundant flow for ali the arabic lands along it's Dor ders.
The Arizona sentinel., 1887-08-27
CONCLUSION.

The Gazette, whose mission it has ever been and now more than ever is. to aid in the development of the vast
 nd varied resources of Arizona extends to the pioneers of the Gila country its most heartfelt congratulations on the bright dawning of the time they have so long worked. suffered and waited for. From all its sources of in- formation it feels satisfied that all that has been said about and much more will be realized by those who cast their lots along the banks of the great river of Arizona. As the settlements along the Gila prosper, so will Phoenix Yuma and the whole Territory there fore there should be no jealousies heart burning, back biting or blackmaillng indulged in by any one, but on the con- trary the fullest and most perfect ac- cord should be manifest every where within our borders.
